"The highlight of the album is 'Herschel Walker'.
A lyrically heavy song, Jason Holler, the vocalist,
does the track great credit with his twang. If anything,
Kentucky Knife Fight is a good lesson teaching us that
everything from the south doesn't have to be bluegrass
or country pop. Their style is refreshing among myriad
of local pop-punk bands."
---Beth Ochoa, Cadenza

"Singer Jason Holler lives up to his name with equal parts
carnival barking and distressed soul exhorting. Guitarists
Nate Jones and David Wiatrolik trade reverbed riffs and
crunchy, short-circuited chords while the rhythm section
holds it down with a little swing and a lot of rockabilly swagger.
The tunes collected on Live don't stray much from the
garage-rock formula: There are drivin' songs, cheatin' songs,
and leavin' songs — all of which, when played in a bar,
translate into drinkin' songs."
------ Christian Schaeffer, Riverfront Front Times
Kentucky Knife Fight is a hardworking, modest 5 piece hailing from Edwardsville, Illinois that combines the influences of early 1970’s proto-punk and punk rock groups such as The Stooges, MC5, and Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers with the garage rock of late 90’s and early 2000 bands such as The Murder City Devils and The Hives. The sounds of early Van Morrison and dirty blues rock work their way in to the fold, as does a sometimes subtle, and at other times, not so subtle twang of blue grass.
